Effect of pollination on seedset and yield of buckwheat (\kur{Fagopyrum esculentum}).
NOLČ, Radek
Common buckwheat is a attracting plant for many pollinators, therefore it be helping to restore biodiversity in the landscape. The most important of pollinators of buc kwheat are honeybee and hoverflies. The aim of this thesis was to find out effect of pollination of buckwheat sown with honeybees and the others pollinators on the seed set and yield of archenes in different varieties of buckwheat. A small-plot field experiment was established with three varieties of common buckwheat in the Pilsen Region, in the place of Zábělá. Before flowering began, half of the plots were covered with insect screens. The buckwheat stand was evaluated from the point of: plants height, number of branches, number of flowers and inflorescences on a plant, nectar volume in Thrum flowers, flowering time, number of archenes on a plant, the weight of thousand of archenes and the yield of archenes. Monitoring of pollinators was performed at the time of buckwheat flowering at 9, 10, 11, 12 and 14 hours, during 10 minutes, using photos. Nectar collection took place on five consecu tive days, from 16. 7. until 20. 7., at 9, 10 and 11 hours. Total of 31 insect species were recorded on buckwheat flowers. The most common effective pollinators of buckwheat were honeybees, (39,7 %) and hoverflies (37,5 %). The significant difference in nectar production was found among the tested buckwheat varieties. The yield of achenes on covered plants was 87 % lower than on freely accessible plants.

The influence of selected agrotechnical factors on the production of Tartary buckwheat
BISCHOFOVÁ, Michaela
The diploma thesis deals with tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum L.) Gaertn, the second most commonly grown species of buckwheat. The aim of the work was to evaluate the influence of the date of sowing and watering on selected production parameters of tartary buckwheat and recommendations for its cultivation. The establishment of a small-plot experiment with buckwheat tartary took place on three different sowing dates in a variant with irrigation and without on the site of private land in the village of Křemže. During the vegetation, the number of plants per area, time of emergence, flowering and full maturity were determined. At the time of harvest, the height of the plants, the value of the biological yield, the yield of the achenes, the proportion of empty achenes, the thousand achene weight, the hectoliter weight and the proportion of size fractions of achenes were determined. Buckwheat sown on 1st May achieved the highest yield. Irrigated buckwheat showed a yield 8.97 t/ha, non-irrigated 8.43 t/ha). Irrigated plants sown on 1st May reached the highest average weight and also provided the highest biological yield (42.02 t / ha).

Monitoring of floral visitors and their importance on comon buckwheat
NOLČ, Radek
Common buckwheat is a crop that attracts many pollinators. The most important of these is honeybee. The aim of this bachelor's thesis was to find out what share of honeybee is on the pollination of common buckwheat and what its significance for the yield of archenes at different sowing times. A small-plot field experiment was established in the Pilsen Region, in the place of Zábělá, on three sowing times (1st May, 1st June and 1st July 2019).The buckwheat stand was evaluated from the point of: flowering time, total vegetation time of the stand, number of inflorescences and flowers on a plant, number of archenes on a plant, the weight of thousand of archenes and the yield of archenes. Monitoring of pollinators was performed at the time of buckwheat flowering at 9, 11 and 14 hours, during 10 minutes, using photos. The share of honeybees on the pollination of buckwheat was 29% of effective pollinators. A total of 24 insect species were recorded on buckwheat flowers. The highest number of buckwheat pollinators was recorded in July (21 species). The most common effective pollinator of buckwheat were hoverflies (57%). The most visits of honeybees were recorded at the second sowing time (on 1 June 2019), which also had the highest expected yield.
